Chief Secretary Matthew Cheung Issues Guidelines on When District Office Representatives May Walk Out
政務司司長張建宗於8月11日發出新指引，訂明在何情況下民政處代表可拉隊離場
After the pro-democracy camp took control of 17 District Councils in the new term, the government had continued to suppress the councils through their secretariats, namely the district offices. On 11 August, Chief Secretary Matthew Cheung issued new guidelines setting out the circumstances in which district office representatives could leave as a group. Today (27 August), district office representatives walked out during discussions on universal testing and a health code at the Central and Western District Council, and on domestic helper agency accommodation at the Wan Chai District Council.
新一屆區議會由民主派主導十七區後，政府一直透過區議會秘書處即各區民政處壓制區議會，政務司司長張建宗於8月11日發出新指引，訂明在何情況下民政處代表可拉隊離場。今日（8月27日），民政處在中西區區議會討論全民檢測及健康碼，以及灣仔區議會提及外傭中介宿舍時，均拉隊離場。
